I have been tasked with putting together a storage solution for use in a
virtualization setup, serving NFS, CIFS, and iSCSI, over GigE. I've inherited a
few components to work with:
x86 dual core server , 512MB LSI-8888ELP RAID card
12 x 300GB 15Krpm SAS disks & array
2GB Flash to IDE "disk"/adaptor.
The system will be serving virtual hard disks to a range of vmware systems
connected by GigE, running enterprise workloads that are impossible to predict
at this point.
Using the RAID cards capability for RAID6 sounds attractive?
Using the Flash RAM for the ZIL?
Using zfs for general storage management?
Has anyone built a similar system, what is the true path to success?
What are the pitfalls?
What should I have on my reading list for starters?
All advice most gratefully received.
MM.
